It can make you cuss, it can make you sing
An' they watch to see how high you're gonna climb
Pat on the back an' better luck next time
Take your number and you stand in line
Me and the baby an' you side by side
It ain't nothing', no, it ain't nothin' no, ho
Seen 'em rise an' I've seen 'em fall
But a heartbreak town, town
It ain't nothing', no nothin'
Square people in a world that's round
Some just run while others crawl away
This ain't nothin' but a heartbreak town
An' they watch you dancin', without a sound
Stardust, well, it's a funny thing
I've got some front money an' I've got a next show
An' they watch to see how high you're gonna climb
Woke up the baby an' she started to cry
Baby in your arms and a tear in your eye
An' they watch you dancin', without a sound
Square people in a world that's round
An' I'm, I'm gonna need you, down this yellow brick road
She must've known what we were goin' to find
It ain't nothin', no, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreak town
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide it seemed
We all knew we was in for a long hard ride
Twelve hundred miles and you never asked why from me?
This ain't nothin' but a heartbreak town
It ain't nothin', no, it ain't nothin'
An' the need to touch, it gets hard to explain some days
Hold my hand baby, don't let go
Honked the horn when we crossed the state line
Some get nothin' an', Lord, some get it all
Take your number and you stand in line
Pat on the back an' better luck next time
